Vinegar & Wine
English
By (author): Colin Hill
This is a collection of 39 short stories that explores what it means what it feels like to be alive; to be a fully-functioning human being. The stories represent life as we know it but writ large, and in bold.
The stories are written with adults in mind; and the stories feature adults their desires, passions, trials and tribulations. Here we find men and women of all ages - from 18 to 80 from a plethora of different backgrounds and situations, and their desperate need and struggle to make sense, and success, of the particular 'hand' that they've been dealt by life's endless challenges and variety.
The stories focus on the great themes of life: love; and rejection. Betrayal, and heartache. Obsession, and desperation. Fear - and greed. These stories are intense, and powerful but always with surprising twists and turns, and often astonishing conclusions. And, hopefully, they inspire reflection and provoke thought.
Though many stories are dark and tragic, hope is nearly always present: as a rainbow, following the storm. The humanity, the dilemmas, and the destiny of every central character will, it is hoped, fully engage the interest and empathy of every reader.
